John Adams, an attorney in our firm’s Chicago and Madison offices, joined the United States Department of Justice this week as Chief of Staff and Senior Counsel for its Environment and Natural Resources Division (“ENRD”). As one of the principal litigating divisions at DOJ, ENRD is responsible for bringing cases enforcing the nation’s environmental laws as well as defending the federal government in litigation arising under a broad range of complex environmental statutes and regulations. In his new role, John will interface with policymakers, agencies, and industry on environmental issues and laws as well as litigate select cases in courts nationwide.
“We are tremendously proud of John and congratulate him on this superb achievement,” said Ryan Walsh, managing partner of the Madison office.
